TOY.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ANGELO W. MANZIE, a citizen of the United States, residing at'Newport News, in the county of Warwick and State of Virginia, have invented new and useful Improvements in'Toys of which the following is a specification.

invention consists in the improvement as The object of my present sole invention is the provision of a toy of the aerial projectile typethat is extremely simple and in expensive in construction,susceptible of economical production, reliable in operation, and well adapted to Withstand the rough usage to which toys embodying movable parts are ordinarily subjected.

To the attainment of theforegoing the hereinafter described and definitely claimed.

In the accompanying drawings, hereby made a parthereof: i

Figure 1 is a perspective showing 'the manner of using my novel toy.

Fig. 2 is an enlarged diametrical section showing the relative arrangement of the handle, the spool and the spool retainer of the toy. I r e Fig. 3 is a top plan view showing the spool and the spool retainer.

Fig. 4 is a plan view of the projectile.

Similar numerals of reference designate corresponding parts in all o-fthe views of the drawings.

Among other elements my novel dev-ice comprises a handle 1 and a spool 2,both of said elements being formed of Wood. The handle 1 is reduced at one end to form a spindle 3 and a shoulder 4:. Supported by "the said shoulder 4 and revoluble about the spindle 3, is the before-mentioned spool which isflangedat 5. The upper end of the spool is fiat, and isarranged slightly be low the upper end of the spindle 3, and fixed in and extending above the upper end of the spool at points off the center thereof are pins 6. j i

For the purpose of retaining the spool 2 a ainst casual displacement from, the spind e, and this without preventing free rotation of the spool and the aerial projectile 7 I provide the flat, disk-like retainer 8 that U Specification of Letters Patent.

headed pin, Fig.2, to the upper end of the spindle 3.

o The aerial projectile 7 is preferably formed in one-piece of sheet-metal, is propeller-like in form and is provided in its central body Patented na iaieeo." Application fi1ed Noveinber 13,19 9. 'Ser1a1No.338 ,800. i

is superimposed upon and fastened by a i portion 9 with apertures 10 designed to re- A ceive the pins 6.

As will be manifest from'Fig. 1, the improved toy is adapted to be .used in the same manner as other to s of the aerial propeller type-zl a, the handle 1 is grasped in the left hand, and a string 11 previously wound about the spool 2 is sharply drawn in, a direction away from the toy, whereupon because of the rapid rotation of the spool and rise and release itself fromthe spool, and will be driven a considerable distance through the air.- I a It will be apparent; that incidental to the initial rotation of the spool and the aerial projectile, the projectile will be supported by head of the fastening pin of the fiat, diskl'ike retainer 8, and consequently there will be no material resistance offered to the rota? tion of the aerial projectile precedent toder, a spool revoluble about the spindle and,

supported on the shoulder and having end flanges, pins fixed to and extending upwardly from the upper end of the spool at points off the center thereof, a fiat disk-like retainer arranged against the upper end of the spindle and located between and in snaced relation to said pins,,a fastening pin in the spindle and having a head at the outer side of the retainer, and an aerial projectile having afiat central body adapted to bear centrally against the said pin-head and in which are aperturesofi the center to loosely receive the said pins.

In testimony whereof I afiix mv signature.
